well now I do thanks to that response.Jesus.
Do you understand ESPN's strength relative to Fox Sports 1?

Big Ten Conference revenues rise 33% in one yearWe know the B1G is doing great. Is there some other purpose you hope to serve by posting this? Unless we're going to the B1G (and you post continually that ain't happening), why should we care? Me thinks you're just another troll. Go away and get on some other board where you can tout the B1G's great success, in spite of adding Rutgers.

"Based on reports from other conferences that approximate their bowl revenue increases from the CFP, it is likely that $50 million to $60 million of the Big Ten's "Sports Revenue" increase is attributable to the TV rights fee increases that resulted from adding Maryland and Rutgers."
Wow, check- -mate. Great job out there, pour yourself an extra one tonight because you were able to call someone a tool on the internet.
You go around here ripping people for stating opinions all the time. It must be exhausting constantly searching for an opportunity to be so contrarian all the time.
There isn't anything "wrong" with the idea that I am putting out there: that if FS1 can get their hands on some quality, live-content that they have a fighting chance with ESPN.
Or maybe it's my assertion that Cable News and Cable Sports are analogous that you think is "wrong?"
Well let's see, what is an analogy?
"A comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification."
Cable News and Cable Sports networks are structured in the same way in that they rely equally on live content and original programming to drive ratings.
Presidential Debates and Election Night coverage are huge boons for CNN just like Monday Night Football is for ESPN.
Original programming like Hannity on FOX News and PTI on ESPN are also major ratings drivers.
So yes, I would say they are pretty darn analogous.
But hey, I get it, it's easier to just call people a tool and walk away from a debate then to actually engage.
LOL - you hurl insults and then talk about a mispelling. Yeah that is someone that is worth engaging.
I'm sorry that you don't get why the analogy doesn't work: but it's pretty simple - you can't compare election results to MNF. MNF is property who's rights are owned by a single broadcasting entity for a period of time. Anyone with a studio can broadcast election results.
Sports programming is different than any other proramming: You can copy zombie shows, you can copy morning talk, you can copy news.... unless you can invent new sports that millions of people want to watch on TV it isn't a proper analogy. Now you can tell me why for the 10th time why it is because you refuse to accept this fact.

Yes you continue to "make friends" all over these boards today.
Let me try to explain in simple terms what most of us do here. We use these boards as an escape from a sometimes difficult and hectic life. We also willingly live in a land of hope and delusion about our CR situation because if we keep mentioning our minimal chances of ever getting an invite, like you love to do, it would probably cause us to just crawl in a hole for 9 months and go to the games and feel like MAC fans feel, whatever that is.
People usually post an opinion, a link to an article or a tweet or something funny to try and lighten the mood. You on the other hand post to BE RIGHT! That's it. You are smarter than all of us stupid people and you live to tell us.
What I just posted is really not debatable. There is too much proof to back it up. It's too bad you have zero humility and will never see what many others see. It's not easy being you, that I'm sure of.
So you admit some stuff is delusional but get angry when someone points out it's a delusion. Whatever floats your boat - but you've bragged about blocking me a half dozen times why do you keep unblocking me? I guess it's hard to be me - but I don't need to believe message board fantasies to get through the day....
If someone wants to say Colorado State to the AAC! and has no interest in hearing why that's a silly idea they can block or not read.
I'm sorry that you and some others aren't completely surrounded by only like minded people who post and think in the exact same fashion. There are no shortage of people who do - so I don't get why y'all keep replying to me.
The way ESPN insulates itself is through talk shows and Sportscenter. Take a look at the weekly ratings. Look at what the big draws are. ESPN is much more interested in having enough live sports so that people reflexively come back to watch Sportscenter. This is why they sunk hundreds of millions into the Sportscenter studios.
Live sports are just a feeder for the real ratings winners.

I have a question...
Would regular visitors like Michigan, tOSU, Oklahoma, and perhaps even Texas, do anything for raising the interest in high school and college football in New England? As in, making new fans of the sport among the youngsters.
I guess you guys don't watch Squawk Box. The pros are not dumping a valuable asset owned by the mouse
no question it would.I have a question...

For drawing fans to UConn games? Those regular top-level visitors would certainly increase UConn football's interest level and attendance. I never had trouble getting my friends to come to the top level games we've hosted at The Rent. Fans from other areas of the country just can't understand how popular UConn is in the region and unfortunately, how much being left behind in the AAC hurt our football attendance. If we returned to a higher level of football conference as we were a short few years ago, I have no doubt we would be filling our stadium again with higher profile teams coming in.
I totally understand this argument but then I look to the Houston game last year where we are 5-5, have to win to get into a bowl for the first time since 2011, and it was Senior night against an undefeated top 15 team in the country in November, and the Rent was half full. That is the kind of thing that hurts us more than anything when it comes to "perception" from the outside world. I get it- Houston isn't "regional" but nationally UH is far ahead of BC, Cuse, or any of the regional teams. And even recently we didn't sell out home games for Maryland, NC State, Navy, Any of the openers the past few seasons, etc.
Like it or not, with us being on the outside looking in, we are held to a higher standard to be included in the P5 schools. The American still has some extremely quality football being played and the fact that we haven't had a sellout since the Michigan game (yes, I know our struggles on the field) despite hosting teams like Boise State, BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, UCF, ECU, USF, Louisville, and Rutgers since then doesn't help our perception nationwide.
Google both it shouldn't take a smart guy like you to figure out you should bypass computer mouse jargon and get to the answerI don't watch Squawk Box, and I have no idea what you are talking about. Who is the mouse?

Drew I agree with everything you said. Your comments were fair and accurate but I'd equate increasing UConn's football attendance to turning an aircraft carrier...it does not happen quickly.
